NCCC has received legal advice that: “Under the ACT legislation this structure is a class 10b and so it is only required for notification under s153 but to be reviewable by ACAT a development application in the Merit Track under s162 has to be notified under both s 153 and 155. When only notified under s 153 it is not enough to be a reviewable decision by ACAT.” We note, however, that the ACT Planning and Land Authority appears to be unaware of reviewable processes: (1) Documents from Planning and Land Authority gave no indication that DA 202342438 was not …

In past couple of weeks, there has several stories that have highlighted the significant power that property developers have over people’s lives and the need for their practises to be properly regulated. One major example relates to the partial collapse of the excavation site at Art Group’s Calypso apartments on Northbourne Avenue, which also took down several backyards and power lines. It was a miracle that no residents or construction workers were hurt in the incident (or in the incident in Woden earlier this year). As Dickson residents gathered for a roadside meeting to seek answers, the licensed builder fronted …
